(from our own correspondent.) Nelson, Dec. 24, 5.35 p.m. Mr Dormett presented a very able and elaborate report on the Wangape^a land sales this afternoon. The pales have been declared illegal and void. It is open for purchasers to appeal to the Supreme Court, but. it is not supposed that will be done. The public gpnerally are much' pleased with the result. , : ,
The New York Times says it is no longer a State *ecret that Mr Motley has been instructed to notify to Lord Clarendon that whenever it is thought best to renew negotiations for a settlement of the Alabama claims, it will be done at Washington, The subject has been very recently the theme of an important correspondence between reprepentative parties in England and the United States, and the most favorable proposals which the English Government is supposed to be prepared to make were communicated, but they were not such proposals as the Government of the United States would entertain for a moment. It is not probable that Mr Motley, up to this time* has been encouraged to expect any mote acceptable terms than those from Mr Gladstone.
